Alexandra

Whatever happened to my teacher? and other educational tales (Erotica)

TeacherIn ‘Whatever happened to my teacher?’ the beauty of Alexandra’s prose once again belies the often dark and dangerous themes. Interspersed between the four chapters of the central story that lends the collection its name, are seven enlightening tales in which one or more of the characters receives shocking self-knowledge in sexually-charged epiphanic events. Follow them as they are tempted and taunted by their weaknesses, and applaud them as – more often than not – they rise above their base instincts and thus arrive at new levels of self-awareness.

Please give this particular stumbling hack a chance: under the auspices of his attractive cleaner, his spelling, grammar, style and ambition improve with every paragraph.
